that all metal coop/run that someone posted awhile back. i think the guy was from arizona and he essentially welded a beautiful coop. I have a friend that’s husband is great with metal and not so much with wood.

nuts. that’s not the one. maybe he was from west texas. i’ve combed through the coop pages so many time i might be crossing my wires... or eyeballs

Well shoot! I don't know then but you might try the TX thread and ask if anyone in there knows.

I have an all metal coop, no welding, though. It is chain link rail with small wire zipped tied all around.

how well does it regulate temperatures during the overly cold or overly hot days?

Hot days I have it open on 3 sides, tarp on the back wall for shade, tarp on top for shade. Right now I have it on grass like a tractor, move it once a week before the grass dies. If it gets cold tarps or sheet metal are attached to the sides. Mostly blocks the wind. It was 98 today, I ran the sprinkler and put in a big extra pan of water. Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter, ~100, I will put an ice block in the big water pan. They stand in it, or on the ice. They figured that out right away as 4 week old chicks.

We are zone 7 in Prescott. But it is a lot dryer than Puyallup. We are from Seattle, and I would maybe not have this kind of coop there. Here the problem is heat. I use old sheet metal roofing to block wind and rain, we do get some snow in the winter. Mine will go on cinder blocks for the winter so I can put in bedding. I use an electric net fence to keep the coyotes away. In the winter, I will be depending on the wire and cinder block footing, snow could shut down the fence occasionally!
